Big Kev's Tips

How to work it

Cast the Roosta Popper 135 to working fish and retrieve with a steady pop-and-pause rhythm, working the rod tip downward to create sharp surface disturbance.

The floating design keeps it in the strike zone at the surface, ideal for kingfish and kahawai hunting in shallow water. Adjust your cadence to conditions: in calm water, use crisp pops with brief pauses; in rougher conditions, lower your rod tip to generate more bubble action and commotion that triggers aggressive strikes.

This mid-size popper balances casting distance with effective noise and splash. Fish it on standard saltwater spinning or baitcasting tackle paired with 15-20 lb leader. Work it over reefs, drop-offs, and current lines where predators patrol, and be ready for explosive takes at the surface.
